The worst part is that to 1/3 of the U.S. population and 1/2 of registered voters who actually vote, it doesn’t matter.

Add that to the list of impeachable offenses. Unfortunately without a supermajority another impeachment would be every bit as ineffective as the first two.

She needs the money. He needs his position to keep the money flowing. Pretty basic stuff.

Im probably focusing on the wrong things, but I saw a tutorial on how to make and monetize an AI web presence, and I can’t stop thinking about that.

When I was in the military we shat in toilets that had no walls around them. It was in a TPU, iykyk. I’ll shit next to anyone, male female or indifferent. And look them in the eye while holding a conversation. Bring it.

I also hate “money won’t solve all of your problems”. Out of all the problems I have, I don’t have a single problem that money wouldn’t immediately solve. People with money seriously underrate the power of money.

That depends entirely on who they’ve murdered. MMIW can point to more than a few murderers who fall into that trough.

One of the single best signs of a nation on the road to recovery would be seeing Texas pull its collective head out of its ass after decades of subservience to greed, based on intimidation through toxic masculinity. I kinda doubt that will happen, but it would be a good sign if it did.

In any type of organization what you have at the top filters down. CEOs, ship Captains, head coaches, managers, all set the tone for those under them. What you’re seeing is the effect of the USA electing a felonious, thieving rapist to lead the country.

It was however, broadcast to viewers and streamed to the internet where it was captured by millions of viewers. As usual, stark evidence of fact did not prevent attempts at gaslighting their way out of accountability.

In war-torn countries rape is seen as a weapon, and the soldier rapists as war criminals. In the USA rapists are punished based on their wealth and the colour of their skin. If you’re rich enough and white enough, you can use chat GPT to write a few paragraphs, otherwise you get 20 to life.

When we remove consequences to protect feelings, egos, or futures we remove a very important part of learning lessons. Lessons that need to be taught by those very consequences.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Dear men and boys, if your friends tell you they’re gang raping someone, grab a brick, a baseball bat, or ball up your fists and leave no doubt in their minds that gang rape is very, very wrong. Then call an ambulance.

Not just the dems, but everybody who didn’t vote last time. You really need to make the choice between voting for a party you’re not wild about vs a party that will accelerate the march into fascism. The perfect choice isn’t available. You really need to choose the lesser of two evils this time.

What people don’t understand is that by not voting they worsen the situation. Maybe democrats don’t tick all of your boxes, but they’re the only hope of taking power away from the republicans,who are monumentally worse. You have to put out the fire before you can renovate the property.

A big part of the problem is scale, compounded by state to state variations. Canada's provincial health coverage is a better model to emulate as well as their educational subsidies to make university more affordable. California alone is bigger in all metrics than some European countries.

Until the rest of “all men” stop tolerating shit like this, it actually is all men. Rape needs to be universally punished and not given a blind eye. “All men” need to use their voice against the social acceptance that behaviour like this gets.

Unfortunately a congressional majority lies with the wrong party. Take back Congress, take the senate, and do it with the strength needed to overrule a presidential veto. Only then can this be unfucked.
